WATER SUPPLIES
This water heater must be installed in accordance with this advice to be covered by the Solahart
warranty.
This water heater is manufactured to suit the water conditions of most public reticulated water supplies.
However, there are some known water chemistries which can have detrimental effects on the water heater
and its operation and / or life expectancy. If you are unsure of your water chemistry, you may be able to
obtain information from your local water supply authority. This water heater should only be connected to a
water supply which complies with these guidelines for the Solahart warranty to apply.
CHANGE OF WATER SUPPLY
The changing or alternating from one water supply to another can have a detrimental effect on the operation
and / or life expectation of a water heater cylinder, a temperature pressure relief valve, a heating unit and a
solar collector in a direct solar water heater system.
Where there is a changeover from one water supply to another, e.g., a rainwater tank supply, bore water
supply, desalinated water supply, public reticulated water supply or water brought in from another supply,
then water chemistry information should be sought from the supplier or it should be tested to ensure the
water supply meets the requirements given in these guidelines for the Solahart warranty to apply.
ANODE
The vitreous enamel lined cylinder of the water heater is only covered by the Solahart warranty when the
total dissolved solids (TDS) content in the water is less than 2500 mg/L and when the correct colour coded
anode is used. If an incorrect colour coded anode is used in the water heater, any resultant faults will not be
covered by the Solahart warranty. In addition, the use of an incorrect colour coded anode may shorten the
life of the water heater cylinder.
The correct colour coded anode must be selected and fitted to the water heater in accordance with the
following advice and the
Anode Selection chart on page 17 for the Solahart warranty to apply to the water
heater cylinder.

The changing of an anode must be carried out by a qualified person.
Note: Some water analysis reports may state the conductivity of the water rather than the level of total
dissolved solids. Conductivity, measured in microsiemens per centimetre ( µ S / cm), is directly proportional to
the TDS content of the water. TDS, in mg / L, is approximately 70% of the conductivity in µ S / cm.
